§ MR. MACVEAGHTo ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he can state if the National Board has approved of any appointments of national teachers as secretaries of school attendance committees; whether Rule 180 was intended to apply to such cases; and whether such cases come within the scope of Rule 181B.
(Answered by Mr. Wyndham.) Rule 180 (a) prohibits teachers of national schools from engaging in any business or occupation that will impair their usefulness as teachers. The position of secretary to a school attendance committee comes within this rule. Rule 181 (b) is not applicable.
